What do you guarantee? Sorry I'm late...digests piled up on me... Here is how I handle being a freelense event photographer: http://www.goodphotos.com/business.html and my simple contract: http://www.GoodPhotos.com/agreement.html Works well. Everyone is happy, I'm paid well enough for my work and as I process and print the first standard set of prints all reprints will be judged against those. The Bride and Groom have no one to blame but their own budget if they take my nice negatives to Walmart for reprints. Even better, I now also offer digital reprints through Signature Lab in TX. Signature takes the orders and deals with the cash then sends me a check at the end of the month based on my customised price list. I get residuals without having to take orders myself. Gotta love the Computer age. :) Carpe Luminem, Michael E. Berube - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
